gh-156234: Fix and rewrite the curses documentation on reading (GH-156235)
Fix wrong types: instr() and getstr() return a bytes object, not a str, and their n limits the number of bytes; getkey() returns a str; unctrl() returns a bytes object. Make clear whether an integer standing for a character is an encoded byte or a character code. Rewrite the documentation of getch(), get_wch(), getkey(), getstr(), get_wstr(), instr(), in_wstr() and in_wchstr(), following X/Open Curses.
